Kaling also praised the decision to set the film in Singapore (“So great to see a non-European setting for love to unfold.”), and how the fashion choices of each character seemed to represent his or her personality (“Feast for the eyes for this costume nerd!”).

Kaling saved her final thoughts for how the film portrayed the bond between Wu’s character and her single mother (played by Kheng Hua Tan). Kaling became a single mom late last year when she gave birth to her daughter, Katherine.

“No one told me that Crazy Rich Asians would also carry a powerful statement about single moms and their bonds with their daughters,” Kaling wrote. “I was bawling. Crazy Ugly Crying From Me.”
